Hey Pepsi...
Your link to the "great topic" firstly doesn't show up when clicked. It is accessible only to registered members. So folks who click on the link have to register on that site & then follow the link.

If this isn't blatant promotion, then WTF is it??

Listen, If you carry on with this arrogance of yours, you could face extreme action from the administrator. Be forewarned!!

Hello Echarcha ,
Read all your post abt advertising the website here and your practice for advertising your website but my dear friend a bit of SEO knowledge would have told you that you just dont need to ask anyone there are so many ways to promote your website and even drive traffic.
Being a computer guy and in this internet business for years now so just stepped in to give some friendly advice as i liked this forum.
Here are some of the stats i collected about your website
You just have 147 backlinks and in those 147 backlinks the number of unique site is 3-4.You stand nowhere in top 10 in google when i search for india forum or indian forum.there are a lot number of other kyewords there that is desired too.I really think you should have ranked number one for these keywords becz they have so little competion.
Here are some of my suggestions for you (hope you will like it)
1)Do some directory submission.
2)Exchange links with like minded sites
3)Article submission in article websites
There are other ways too but i would rather stick to these becz these will do the trick for you.
Hope these will help you get to number 1 in google
As for advertising well all i can say is that you can enable signature link thats it for all other links in post yes u need a moderator.BTW a signature link traffic generation is 0.02 % to the site it is being linked too so no threat to you.What it will also do is that it will bring traffic to your site too becz generally people who have blogs or any specific website or for that matter a forum too like to get there signatures in forums they like and many will definitely reciprocate with you to exchange a site wide link too.
Now for the other part of revenues.My suggestion is get a google adsense account and enable adsense in yoru forum and that will be a good source of income for you too.
Hope these little things help you
Cheers

Thanks for your suggestions. I know some them and have done them like directory submission, but most directory services still dont affect google searches. As for exchanging links with 'like minded' sites oh boy, you dont know what kind of sites have asked for such exchanges.

Read Seochat.com if i were to promote a site i wont neccesarily go for link exchange there are so many ways for link building.Read that site and refer some good seo forums they will help u quite a lot

u would need to do some work for that, but cha pai n co r quite educated, pada likha logs , so i think they wont have much problem in doing the one time setup for it

some of my friends use digg, n they say if we can manage our article(s) featured on digg's front page, then we can expect 10-20 k unique visits within 24 hours

i know marathi manus r not good in these kinda 'tikadambaazis', but if u r interested, u can think abt it

with due respect to your knowledge.Have you seen digg and stumble traffic being converted to something substantial.They are just for some quick traffic but you dont get anything out of it.Even if you hit digg ka first page then also they will just come and move on.

and how much of digg's audience would really be interested in a desi discussion forum?
